B.K.S. Iyengar Yoga: The Path to Holistic Health

This is an awesome book! I'm not a professional yogi or anything, but I've been taking it for a few years. This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone looking for poses to help with certain health conditions or improvements. What is amazing is they give you like 21 poses to do, not just 3 or 4. This man is the total guru. If you're going to have one yoga bible, this one is it. This is the real deal and is a great book for anyone who loves yoga. It is so helpful. I will treasure this book for years to come.

My first go-to book. This book is my yoga bible, and is an essential part of my yoga teacher library. I've had to replace it three times, because it's the one yoga book I cannot live without. Easy to follow written explanations and some of the best photo depictions of the asanas. An excellent guide to yoga. A MUST HAVE for anyone who is a serious practitioner or teacher, regardless of what school of yoga you come from.

I am in yoga teacher training & I needed a book that shows contraindications of postures, benefits of yoga postures, & the use of props. This book gives that information & more. This book has more info on the use of props than any book I know of, & I've read many! There is also good reading & biography on Iyengars early years, his teaching & family life.Also information re the history of yoga. A very informative book & great to keep for future reference!

I like using this book for my positioning, great pictures to see full forms. Very helpful. But I find quite big for a yoga book, a good chapter is devoted to B.K.S. Iyengar and his personal life.

This book provides very comprehensive descriptions of 23 classic asanas, with a series of color photos for each pose from a 360 degree perspective. It also has a lengthy section on poses for specific ailments. The focus in this text, as with Iyengar's teachings, is on the details of correct form, thus avoiding disuse or injury to the body. If you have been taking yoga classes by video, or with an instructor leading at the front of the room instead of coaching you by your side, then you will find as I have that you have many harmful habits. This book will help to show you how to correct those and get so much more out of your yoga practice.

I love this book, 10 years ago I found a copy at my library, and it literally changed my life, and can't say enough about it. Its an excellent introduction to yoga, and allowed me to start my own practice in my own home for free. The chronic pain and migraines I had been experiencing for several years started to disappear after only two weeks of following the upper back and neck routines. Nothing else had even a fraction of that effect, except weekly massage, which becomes too expensive. I highly recommend this book to anyone thinking of starting to do yoga on their own.

I love this book. Yoga is a great part of my life. One of my children that does yoga was so taken by this book, I ordered one for their family. When I take yoga classes and the instructors will mention what this move is good for, and what this other move is good for, by the time I go home, it is all gone. This book is there to tell you what kind of moves they are good for and it is there on my coffee table so I refer to it often. You can pick and choose yoga move when you are home, on the road or just to be informative.

One of the best yoga books around with all of the most common poses for restorative Iyengar yoga. Also has prescriptions or series of yoga poses for various conditions. Beautiful photos which illustrate the poses from all angles. Iyengar is probably the easiest yoga because its approach is to heal and therefore uses a lot of props to enable anyone to do yoga.

this is one of my best yoga books. I bought it 3-4 years ago and it is still a reference among my other books. What I like is all the detailed pictures of the posture, including how to get there. Also, there are pictures of "wrong postures" and there is text that explains the benefits. Really, it is a super book.

I really appreciate that book and use it a lot for therapeutic use ! / J'adore ce livre et l'utilise beaucoup pour des fins thérapeutique !

The best Yoga book I've ever owned! I highly recommend this book!

This book is very good, it is detailed as to the yoga positions and how these positions help the body. I just cannot say enough good things about this book, it had everything in it that I am looking for.

Bought this on a recommendation from my yoga teacher. Iyengar is a good beginners style with props to ease you into the yoga poses.
